i love when a historic sign or store front that is familiar to a
neighborhood is preserved and re-purposed.
neighborhood is preserved and re-purposed.
i can think of a handful of examples of such store fronts in new york
(which i am now thinking i should series on these pages),
but it is possible none works so well as this stuart & wright boutique in fort greene.
the shop occupies the space of an old french garment cleaners on lafayette,
and the collection of blue and white clothing that the little store carries works so
nicely with the sign's colors, it almost looks like it has been designed as a set.
